The correct answer here is C.

The main problem here is that this is a tricky data to gather, especially in regards to people's sexual behavior. The main problem here is that the data collected from self-reports of a certain group may or may not be in line with the actual behavior. In self-report study people choose one of the given options without the interference of the researcher, thus people may not be entirely truthful.
